the story they feed the pilots and scientists isn't we need to stop these earth changes so we can restore our power because who would want to work for that

instead they tell these pilots and scientists you are saving the world and humanity won't even thank you because they can't know about these chemicals they are spraying over cities might have adverse effects on health but we need to patch these holes or everyone dies, something along those lines

I'm sure there's a lot of "need to know" involved. Could be as simple as telling the pilot what to do (spray this shit and don't ask questions) and he does because he likes his paycheck and wants that pension.
